Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Structures with Hyperelastic Devices

This thesis presents the results of an investigation of a multiple degree of freedom (MDOF) structure with hyperelastic bracing using nonlinear and incremental dynamic analysis. New analytical software is implemented in the investigation of the structure, and the study seeks to investigate the effe...
